GEMS ANO MYTHS.
Some Ancient Beliefs About the Or
igin of Precious Stones.
Thc natives of India up to the he
winning of tho eighteenth century
referred to rock crystal as "an un
ripe diamond." At that time India
wis thought to be tho only land
which produced that preci us stone.
It was not, therefore, until the dis
covery of India that the diamond
was known to ns. Yet as far back
as 500 B. C. a "didactic history" of
precious stones was written, and in
Pliny's time tho supply must have
been plentiful, as he wrote, "Wo
drink out of a mass of gems, and
our drinking vessels are formed of
emeralds/' ' We are also told that
Xero aided Iiis weak sight by specta
cle? made of emeralds.
But it is very difficult to deter
mine whence all tho gems came, as
discoverers took care to leave no
record. Thc nations that traded in
them were afraid of'their where
abouts being known, nnd even the
most ancient mei chants would not
(ii-c?osc any deiiiiitc locale. All
forts of myths have accordingly
faning up concerninj thc origin of
gems. "Diamond" as the namo
given to a youth who was turned
fat o the hardest and most brilliant
of substances to preserve him from
"thc ills that flesh is heir to." Am
ethyst was a beautiful nymph be
loved by Bacchus, but saved from
him by Diana, who changed Ame
thyst into a gem, whereupon Bac
chus turned the gem into wine col
or and endowed the wearer with tho
gift of preservation from intoxica
tion.
Thc pearl was thought to be a
dewdrop the shell had opened to re
ceive. Amber was said to be honey
melted by the sun, dropped into
tho sea and congealed. According
to the Talmud, Noah had no light
in thc ark but that which carno
from precious stones. - Chicago
Chronicle.
People Who Fall Safely.
i fall as a rule injures a drunken
man much less than a sober one be
cause, the controlling power of the
mind being rendered nil through in
toxication, the body falls as an in
ert mass, end thus the chances of
injury are lessened, for, strange
though it may appear, it is no less
.a fact that the most numerous cases
of injury arising from a fall are
caused by the ?mort, voluntary or
otherwise, to avert the consequen
ces, thus straining the muscles and
tendons. Very rarely are injurious
effects from a fall known in a luna
tic asylum for the same simple rea
son-thc mind Has no influence over
the action of the body.
And it is a remarkable and well
known fact to those who have to
deal with such cases that whatever
injuries are so caused heal much
more rapidly than in the case of
sane people, the mind having more
to do with retarding or assisting
nature's efforts than is generally
known or realized.
Might Have Been Woree.
A disposition to look always on
the bright side of things spares its
possessor much unhappiness, but
when the cheerfulness rests npon
reasoning so unsound ai? Mr. Dolan's
there must some time come an awak
ening.
Mr. Dolan had lost his position at
the mill owing to his persistent hab
it of tardiness, and in consequence
his wife was "low in her moind."
But Dolan was as cheerful as ever.
"Now, don't be losin' your smoiles.
Norah, darlin'," he said coaxingly.
"Oi'm out o' wurrk, to be sure, nut
'twas only a dollar a day Oi got. If
Oi'd been gettin' two dollars, our
loss would be twoice as bad. Kane
that in moind, dar lin', and not bo
complainin'."
The Sign of the Three Balls.
The three'gilded balla used by
pawnbrokers are tho three gilded
pills which the Florentine banking
house of the Medici assumed as
their arms when they" became
wealthy. r The founder of the fam
ily had been a medicus. His chil
dren went into banking and got
rich. They assumed the canting
coat of arms of the pills and hung
them out to show wherejitheir bank
was, their business being largely in
the nature of pawnbroking. Their
rivals caught on to the idea and
hung up three golden balls, and so
their successors, having given np
banking, retain the balls as the em
blem of the pawnbroking eide of the
business.
Animal Food.
It is related of an Irish coachman
'that his medical adviser prescribed'
animal food as the best means of
restoring health and activity.
'Tatrick," said he, "you're run
down a bit; that's alh What you
need is animal food." Remember
ing his case a few days afterward,
he called Upon Pat at the stable.
trWell, Pat,'' said ho, "how are you
getting on with the treatment?"
"Oh, ahure, sir," Pat rephed,"Oi
manage all right with tho grain and
oats, but ifs mighty > hard with the
'Chopped hay."

La?A&SiiioicM
Chinese Millionaire's Hora?.
it was my fortune to call on one of
the richest men in China, a merchant
prinoe of Foo Chow. Mr. Loen or
dered a tiny cop of tea for us without
delay, and after that was disposed of
showed os over his establishment.
Next to the reception room waa his
bedroom, which waa largely occupied
by a huge bed, beside which the four
poster of our grandmothers would have
looked insignificant. Elaborately
oarved and inlaid with ivory, the bcd
ia a little room in itself. Outside the
bed proper is an ante-room, big enough
to hold a small table and ohair, but all
inclosed within the bedstead. Then
you oome to the couch, wide enough
to hold four people, but hard as a
board, and the pillows are simply
pieces of wood, slightly hollowed in
(he middle. If two or more people
occupy it, they sleep hoad to feet. In
the uortL a fire would be built under
the bed io winter, but in Foo Chow
the mild climate makes this unneces
sary. Beside his bod were his books,
Chinese classics in several large vol
umes, buggesting the thought that Mr.
Leon indulged in the habit of reading
himself off to sleep. Surely the Chi
nese clatsioa are prosy enough to act
as a soporific.
, Io a cupboard protected by glass
doors were several erackod and disrep
utable china bowls, very precious in
their owner's eyes, for they were 300
years old and went baok to the Ming
dynasty. Not unlike other connois
seurs in China was Mr. Leon after all,
for th? older and uglier the more pre
cious seems to be the rule thc world
over.
In another room were Mr. Leonis
ancestral tablets, black 6labs of wood
about two feet high, on which were
engraved the names of his ancestors,
with quotations from the classics to
keep the names company. Before
these tablets on certain occasions Mr.
Leon burns i license and worships their
names. Into other rooms he took ns,
but they were mainly repetitions of
the first with slight variations. All
were substantially furnished; all from
an Occidental point of view were dirty
and comfortless.
In one part of his establishment Mr.
Leon had an extensive rockery, where
our pictures were taken together. In
another was a grove of small bamboos.
In still another was a fish pond, in
which gold fish and silver fish lazily
swam to the surface to accept crubs
from our hands. But all were in
closed by the walls of hi?* house.
Going to the roof of one of his houses
we were able to survey the whole es
tablishment. From this coign of van
tage we counted no less than thirty
five roofs belonging to the household
establishment of this one millionaire,
and all inclosed within the family
compound.
But Mr. Loon needs a large house,
for he has eight wives, eight sons and
six daughters, and several of the sons
are married and live with their wives
and ohildren under the parental roof.
When we came away the whole
family followed us to the r ..ter door,
where the sedan chairs wet awaiting
us, and with many bows and shaking
of their own hands bade us adieu.
For our part, we went on our way
pleasantly impressed with the unas
suming cordiality and modest hospi
tality of one of China's millionaires.

Got Satisfaction.
The middle-aged man, who was tak
ing a quiet stroll in the outskirts of
the village, was accosted by a young
fellow of frank, engaging countenance.
"Isn't this Mr. Rankin?" asked thc
latter.
"Yes."
"You used to teaoh in the old Kirk
bride Sohool House ten or twelve
years ago?"
"I did."
"Do you remember a boy named
Tip Beaver that went to sohool to you
about that time?"
"Very well."
"I suppose I have changed a gjod
deal since then, but I waa that hoy,"
''I am glad to see you again, Tip."
"And I am glad to see you. Do you
remember tho' I 'as rather a bad boy,
and you had .unco me occasion
ally?"
"O, yes, I remember that."
"Well, I generally deserved it. Do
you recollect the time I stuck a bent
pin on tho seat when John Matthew
son was Btauding up to recite, and you
saw me do it and gave me a little the
best whipping a boy ever got?"
"Yes, I think I reoall that circum
stance."
"Well, itoured me."
"I think it did. It is pleasant to
reoall these old-"
"But I thought you whipped me a
good deal harder than I deservod, and
I made up my mind that when I got
to be a mah I'd hunt you up and give
you a blamed good Hoking. I guess
the time's oome uow, and you're going
to get it. Shed your coat, and we'll
even up old seores in about four min
utes." .
But here the unexpected happened.
Without stopping to shed his eoat
Mr. Rankin sailed into that.young
man. He smote him in. the eye, land
ed a straight left on his nose, hit him
io the breadbasket and doubled him
up, and theo with a stiff upper nut on
the chin scored a olean knockdown.
Then, as he helped him to hia feet
.aud handed bim his hat, he merely
Baid:
"Wait till you've grown some more,
Tip, and if you still feel like evening
up old ?corea hunt me up again. Good
day."--Chicago Tribune.
Following Instructions.
At the Roosevelt hospital the other
morning a poor woman came to the
clinic She was suffering greatly so
the dootor administered an emetic at
once. Then he eect her home., with
the warning that her stomach was
in a bad condition and that she could
diet.
Later a little girl appeared at the
nearest drug ftorc, asking for some
eye stuff.
"What color?" said the clerk.
"I don't kuoiv." answered the ohild.
"But surely you must have some
preference," said the obliging sales
man.
She only .-hook her head in response.
"Well, will you take blue?"
"Yes, I guess BO."
The clerk, determined to ferret out
the oause of suoh unusual indifference
asked:
"What are you going to uso the dye
for, little girl?"
She answered, "My mamma bad a
pain in her stomach and the dootor at
tho big hospital said she should 'dye
it.' "-New York Times.
Economical Alan.
The native pointed out to the stran
ger an old man who was passing.
"That man," said the native,
"beats the world on close figuring."
''Makes a little money go a long
ways, does he?"
"Well, rather. Last winter ho put
revolving doors into a big building
that he owns, and bo never took them
out again all summer."
"Pore matter of economy?"
"Exactly. "
"Rather small and meau, I should
think. The cost of taking out and
puffing baok the revolving door ought
not to be great, and he's giving his
tenants and their patrons a lot of un?
neoessary labor.
"That's just it," explained the
native. "He's* making them wort
for him for nothing. Why, he stores
up the power generated by those doors
and uses it to run the elevators. Why,
thc man is so close that he doesen't
get mad, because he thinks his anger
would oause him to give out heat that
he'll need in the winter."-Chicago
